Independent: Demolition has begun on the site of Britains worst nuclear accident, as scientists are brought in to dismantle the infamous Sellafield chimney. The 110-metre structure on the old Windscale plutonium-producing plant at Sellafield nuclear reprocessing site in Cumbria will finally be cleaned up more than half a century since a fire broke out in its graphite core, in late 1957. It is being dismantled after site managers said the radioactivity had now decayed to safe enough levels to work in. Steve...
Deep In The Pacific, Scientists Discover Biggest Volcano On Earth

National Public Radio: The world's largest volcano has until now been lurking undiscovered in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, according to a team of scientists who identified the massive object and reported their findings in the latest issue of Nature Geoscience. The newly revealed Tamu Massif volcano - located about 1,000 miles east of Japan and 4 miles below the ocean's surface - is about the size of New Mexico. It not only outclasses previous record holder Mauna Loa in Hawaii by about 60 times, but it's in the same...

Scientists leave GOP due to attitudes toward science
2013-09-01 15:36:36| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Salt Lake Tribune: Barry Bickmore, a professor of geology at Brigham Young University and onetime Republican convention delegate in crimson-red Utah County in the nations reddest state, has pondered the issue at length. He contends his party is increasingly ruled by zealots and a demand for "ideological purity" that turns off scientists. He says most examples are in the environmental sciences. And he points to the time in 2009 when majority-party Republicans in the Utah Capitol put climate-science doubters on a...

Saving Reefs by Enlisting Citizens as New Scientists
2013-08-31 17:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Ever wanted to see a coral reef up close? What until now has been a privilege reserved to a small minority is about to become something millions of us can (virtually) do. Scientists have hit on a way to harness 360-degree panoramas from Google's underwater street-view format in order to let anyone with access to a computer see reefs in real time. Scientists are using the eyes of citizen scientists to collect data and raise awareness about the health of coral reefs through underwater images...
